+# SlickEdit workspace and project files are ignored by default because
+# typically they are considered to be developer-specific and not part of a
+# project.  However, if multiple SlickEdit users are collaborating on a
+# project, it is possible to store these files in the repository and share
+# them among all developers because they do not contain user-specific data.
+# To store these files in a repository, add the following two lines to the
+# project’s .gitignore file:
+# ----------
+# !*.vpw
+# !*.vpj
+# ----------
+*.vpw
+*.vpj
+
+# SlickEdit workspace history and tag files always contain user-specific
+# data so they should not be stored in a repository.
